A Guy, A Lyre, and a Park Bench -Chapter 10-

>LYRA: "Okay, time to explain."

"Nope."

>LYRA: "What? No, no way that's not fair. You have to tell us more!"

"Yeah, no."

>BON: Since when did you like getting your ass smacked?"

"I don't! I was just surprised by it is all!"

>Lyra smacks your rear and you let out a quick squeak, your face flushing red.

>LYRA: "Oh boy, someone's got a deadly little weakness."

"Shut up."

>BON: "What did you see in her, anyway?"

"What?"

>LYRA: "Yeah, you never really explained why you dated Trixie in the first place. What gives?"

"Nothing. Nothing gives. Look, let's just keep walking home while I try to forget that this whole night just happened, okay?"

>The three of you walk home from the town square, where you had just been forced to take part in a "magic show" with your ex-special somep0ny, Trixie.

>Right now, you were just focusing your attention to the point in front of you, determined to just get home and go to bed.

 

>Lyra catches up with you and nudges your arm.

>LYRA: "Okay, look, I'm sorry. But you got to admit, it was all kind of fun, right?"

"Fun."

>LYRA: "Yeah!"

"I got dragged onto a stage by my ex and two ponies that kind of have an overbearing THING for me, in order to be the subject of a friggin' game show! A game show that involves my ass getting smacked!"

>BON: "You seem upset."

"Oooh, NNOOoooo. Really?! Look, guys, I like ya. Really I do. But for me, please, can we just go home and sleep?"

>The two of them are quiet as you rub the space between your eyes out of exhaustion and frustration.

>It was an anime.

>You were living in an ANIME at this point.

>And not one of the cool ones with fighting and space cowboys.

>This was like... you don't even know.

>LYRA: "You want to just go home."

"Yes."

>BON: "And you want us all to sleep."

"YES."

>Finally, they were getting it.

>LYRA: "Alright then, off to bed we go."

>Before you can thank them, Lyra has grabbed the base of your shirt in her mouth and proceeds to drag you along the sidewalk.

 

"Whoa whoa, dragging me. Why? Why are you doing that exactly?"

>LYRA: "Mmph mmph."

"I would understand you better if you weren't eating my clothes, doll."

>Lyra releases her bite and perks up.

>LYRA: "Doll? Oh, you do care."

>BON: "We're just doing what you want."

LYRA: "Yup. You want to go home and have us all sleep."

"...wait what is this?"

>LYRA: "What's what?"

"Why are you so eager all of a sudden to go home?..."

>BON: "Just trying to make you happy is all."

>You stare at the two mares in front of you, a look of quiet suspicion etched onto your face.

"...okay then. Fine. Homeward bound we three be."

>Lyra smiles and Bon-Bon simply nods as you're led home by them.

>On the way, Lyra can't help but ask you more questions.

>LYRA: "Okay, PLEASE let us in on why you dated Trixie. You have to tell us, you just HAVE to."

"Can a man have NO secrets in this town?"

>BON: "No."

"Blunt as ever I see."

>BON: "That's me. The blunt one."

>You give a sigh of resignation and give in.

 

"Fine. We met in Manhattan. I was into card magic at the time, and we shared similar interests. We hit it off from there."

>LYRA: "That's it?"

"That's it."

>LYRA:"...oh my god you two totally had se-"

"YOU. MOUTH. SHUT IT."

>Lyra tries her best to contain her laughter as Bon-Bon simply groans.

>LYRA: "Hahaha... oh god that's too much. Okay, okay. Done. No more jokes, promise."

"Thank you."

>...

>BON: "I bet she called out her own name during."

>LYRA: "HA!"

>Fuck everything.

>Seriously.

>You all finally make it home, and you make your way to your bedroom in the attic.

>You couldn't wait to just lie down and get some peace and rest.

"Alright well, this was fun and all and I suppose I'll see you in the mor-"

>Lyra and Bon-Bon both push past you and pull down the ladder to your room.

"What is this?"

>LYRA: "Hm?"

>Lyra gives an innocent smile.

>LYRA: "I thought you said you wanted us all to just go to bed?"

"Yeah but-"

>LYRA: "Well that's what we're doing!"

>She gives you a wink as she and Bon-Bon head up the ladder.

"Oh Bon-Bon not you too..."

>Bon-Bon looks back to you, and gives a small, sly smile.

>Dear god they were collaborating.

 

>You very audibly groan and proceed up the ladder after them.

"Guys, when I said I wanted us to sleep I didn't mean toge-"

>You mouth stops making noise when you see what's in your bed.

>Lyra and Bon-Bon have snuggled underneath your covers, offering a small space in between them for you to lay in.

>LYRA: "Hop on in! It's nice and toasty in here, after all."

>Another devilish grin while you try to process all of this.

"I... what are you two doing?"

>BON: "Sleeping in a cramped bed."

"I know that. That's the problem. That thing is small enough as it is for a person like me, let alone for a person and two ponies."

>BON: "Are you a cover hog?"

"What? No. Maybe? I don't know."

>LYRA: "Well cover hog or not, you're getting in this bed."

>This was... bad?

>No, not bad.

>Just weird, you suppose.

"...fine. No funny stuff while I sleep though."

>LYRA: "Wouldn't dream of it."

>BON: "I would."

>Both you and Lyra give Bon-Bon a quick look.

>Bon-Bon is expressionless.

>BON: "That is a joke."

"Right."

 

>Walking over to your bed, you try to go about this as best you can.

>Lyra gets impatient and just levitates you into the bed.

>The fit is tight, and the both of them are near the edges of the mattress.

"Yeah, not happening. You'd have to be right up on me for this to work. Why don't I just sleep on the couch for toni-"

>Suddenly they're both cuddling up onto you.

"Uh... guys?"

>The both of them are quiet as they curl up around you, Lyra clinging to one of your arms and resting her head on your chest.

>Bon-Bon is more conservative and decides to lay a hoof across your abdomen, her snout tickling your shoulder.

>And you?

>You simply laid there on your back, staring up into the attic ceiling, not knowing what to do.

"...stupid sexy mares..."

>Eventually, you're able to fall asleep.

>For what it was worth, it wasn't so bad.

 

>You're stirred awake only hours later by the faint sound of the TV downstairs.

>It sounded like the opening theme to Equestria's equivalent to Criminal Minds.

>Glancing to your left, your suspicions are confirmed.

>Bon-Bon had gotten up to watch her crime thrillers.

>You give a quiet laugh as you imagine her sneak out of bed to go watch what she had missed today.

>A tiny whimper to your right catches your attention.

>LYRA: "wha... whassit?"

"Sorry. Bon-Bon's just watching TV. You can go back to sleep."

>LYRA: "Bon-Bon's doin' the TV thing?"

"Yup."

>Lyra yawms and lays her head back onto your chest.

>LYRA: "Neat."

>You can't help but but smile at the sight of this mint green mare as her lights go out right on top of you.

>Huh.

>Cute.

>You close your eyes.

>Not long after, you feel the body on your chest shift.

>Breath tickles your nose.

"...wha-"

>LYRA: "Just this one time, if you will."

>And with that, Lyra kisses you softly, her eyes still hazy with sleep.

>Too tired to resist, and not particularly caring, you let it happen.

>Like you said.

>It wasn't so bad.
